prophecy
Hello Rabbi,
In the book The History of the War of the Jews with the Romans, attributed to Josephus, there is a description of a prophecy before the eyes of many disciples, and the prophecy was fulfilled (chapter 1, page 13).
As is known, the aforementioned book is considered to have been written at the time the events took place, and the author is seemingly reliable.
Isn’t this pretty clear proof of Judaism?

Aaron, maybe it's worth bringing the text here so the discussion doesn't get out of hand.
I read the part.
It is about a prophecy by an Icy man named Judah who prophesies before many disciples who are at his feet that Antigonus is going to die in Stratton Tower.
It is later found that Antigonus was killed in a place called Stratton Tower.
The problem is that the author of this book (Josephus Flavius) claims that there was a man who prophesied to crowds of people, I can also claim that I saw a prophecy fulfilled to crowds of people. Maybe it's just a ‘broken phone’ and things never existed?
And in general, why is this supposed to be proof of ”Judaism”? Maybe it shows the ability to see the future, what does this have to do with religion?
Judas could also have caused Antigonus' death in the manner described in the prophecy just to "prove" his prophetic skills. I really don't see how his prophecy proves anything.
